Narrative

During the top of descent and after the sterile cockpit light was turned ON; i completed the pre-landing compliance check then I sat on my jump seat. Then I received a call from the pilot informing me about having an issue with one of the flaps that stayed flat. The explained to me that they will be following the procedure and it will not cause an emergency; I have to be prepared for a very fast and speedy landing. They said it will look out of normal landing yet it will not be a major issue; however be prepared for any sudden changes. Then I made another announcement in the cabin sharing that we will be expecting a fast and speedy landing according to the Captain and emphasised the importance of keeping their seat belts fastened. Then the Captain made an announcement as well explained in details the technical issue and assured the passengers that everything will be according the procedures and it will not have a negative impact except that the landing will be expected to me fast. After 5 minutes a received an emergency call from the flight deck informing me that we will be touching down in 8 minutes and be prepared. I went through the emergency drill in my head while going through my 60 seconds review. The landing was smooth and there was no sudden or strong impact while the aircraft touched the runway; it was only fast while it was on the ground. Passengers were not affected. There was no shock or sudden agitation in the cabin. During disembarkation; the passengers were smiling and thanked us without showing any concerns or even noticing difference.
